2014 Mazda MX-5 Miata Rendered, Detailed: Trust Mazda to Get It Right
What It Is: Mazda’s fourth-generation MX-5 roadster, in CGI form. Our artist has borrowed the Kodo design language that Mazda has used on recent concepts; shoppers won’t remember its name, but Kodo, we think, is distinctive enough. Otherwise, the fundamentals for the next MX-5 stay the same: two seats, folding roof, rear-wheel drive. This one [...]
BMW Announces Limited-Production 2013 M3 Coupe Lime Rock Park Edition
BMW has revealed yet another special-edition M3 coupe, and this one’s called the Lime Rock Park Edition and is named after the legendary Connecticut racetrack.

LeMons Good/Bad Idea of the Week: Twin-Turbo Taxi!
The Ford Crown Victoria has proven itself to be one of the most reliable cars in 24 Hours of LeMons racing. The Crown Vic handles well, it comes from the factory with big brakes that rarely melt down under the rigors of road racing, and the Ford Modular 4.6 V-8 engine is just about impossible [...]

WTCC boss calm over Chevrolet’s exit
World Touring Car general manager Marcello Lotti says Chevrolet's impending departure from the series is simply part of motorsport. Lotti also believes that the arrival of Honda from 2013, and ongoing negotiations with other manufacturers, will allow the WTCC to withstand the loss of such a "precious partner." Chevrolet announced it would leave the series at the end of 2012 on Wednesday after a strategic review of its motorsport and marketing programmes. The manufacturer has taken 59 victories so far in its eight-year spell, and won both the drivers' and constructors' championships in the past two years

Cost-cutting deal ‘vital’ for F1′s future
Formula 1 teams must realise that getting a cost-cutting deal in place by the end of this month is 'vital' for the future of the sport, reckons Mercedes-Benz motorsport boss Norbert Haug. As AUTOSPORT revealed over the weekend, the FIA has given teams until July 24 to try and come up with much-needed sporting regulation changes for 2013 that will help keep expenditure in F1 down. Furthermore, the door remains open on implementing a way that the governing body can police a Resource Restriction Agreement.
